At El Dorado School of Performing Arts, we encourage dancers to wear clothing and shoes that allow them to move freely, safely, and comfortably. Proper dance attire helps teachers see alignment and technique, prevents injuries, and makes it easier for dancers to learn and grow.
From ballet slippers to leotards, jazz shoes to hip hop sneakers, each piece of clothing or footwear is chosen to support the style of dance, build confidence, and help dancers perform at their best. Dressing appropriately isn’t about rules—it’s about helping every dancer feel ready to move, learn, and shine!
